Seem reason why I'm going to start a thread about Keith Andrews, an Irish sports person doing well in Britain
 |
|
By:
Because
1- He's an Irish sportsman performing well internationally 2- Cricket has been played in Ireland for many centuries -and would be even more widespread were it not for typical narrow minded nationalist bigots in the late C19 ( Michael Cusack played cricket and wished it to continue to be played but was overruled ) 3- Ireland is getting better at cricket and interest levels are rising |

Yeah play with Ireland and get to play international games against the top teams once ever four years

By:
The rules allow players to switch countries subject to certain controls. It has happened as long ago as
Basil D-Oliveira , a S African who played for England in the 1960s. It happens a little more now I think because we live in a more international globalised society. It's worth noting too how many players of Irish descent have played at the highest level for Australia from Norman O'Neill down to Glenn McGrath , Craig McDermott etc. Irish kids have good hand/eye co-ordination and but for hurling luring so many of them away -they would excel at cricket and hockey. In fact they perform fairly creditably considering the small pool of available talent. |

Any player worth his salt aspires to Test Match Cricket, but unfortunately Ireland cannot offer him that carrot.

England always have 5 or 6 on the team born in other countries the latest lot over the past couple of seasons. All south Africans, Kevin Pietersen, Matt Prior, Ian Trott, Craig Kieswetter who batted today with Morgan.

Richters, it appears you don't know a big pile about anything tbh. Everything comes back to sectarian hatred and envy with you.
Well done Eoin Morgan. |

That's 132 not out in the first two matches -lovely hurlin' .  |

By:
fair play to him but dont think hed be much good on a hurling field to be fair....

I dunno -I could see him as a nifty half forward ...rifling over points like six-hits with his trusty left hand.
Meantime he's socking it to the Aussies -who are the world's top rated one day team at the mo ---but for how long ? |
